1)“O my poor old Harry Jekyll, if i ever read satan’s signature upon a face, it is on that of your new friend”• Utterson says this about Hyde to Jekyll
• Utterson resents Hyde so much that he claimed that Hyde has been stamped by the devil
• “new friend”- juxtaposition as this isn’t the kind of friend ones makes. This shows that Utterson always knew what was going
on but remained silence- secrecy.
• Victorian reputation- Victorian men kept secrets of not just themselves but of their upper-class friends also
2) “ ‘I incline to cain’s Hersey’: he used to say quaintly: ‘ I let my brother to go the devil in his own way’”
• Utterson says this
• “Cain” and Abel were the sons of Adam. Cain killed Abel- attack on region as this is a big debate in religion
• Utterson indulges misbehavior without judgment and doesn't feel compelled to impose his values on others.
3)“i felt younger, lighter, happier in body”
• Jekyll says this chapter 10 in his confession letter
• rule of three
• This is how Jekyll talks about his transformation to Hyde
• when Jekyll turns into Hyde, it’s symbolism of the idea that normal people hide their deep desires due to a moral compass
and/or religion but he doesn’t. When he turns into Hyde, he loses all control and feels free
• Slave to his desire
4) “all human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil: and Edward Hyde alone, in the ranks of mankind,
was pure evil”
• Jekyll’s justification in chapter 10 in his confessions letter
• duality of nature: Jekyll and Hyde were so unique (even though everybody have both good and evil within) because there were
both housed in different bodies in the same oppressive society
• This shows the reader that if they don’t control their duality (both good and bad) we will become broken and shattered
people
• Hyde is a slave to evilness Whereas Jekyll becomes slave to his evilness through Hyde
• Duality= a good thing but as soon as someone becomes primarily only good or bad like Hyde that causes issues
5) “ i sat in the sun on a bench; the animal within me licking the chops of memory; spiritual side a little drowsed, promising
subsequent penitence, but not yet moved to begin”
• “sun”- athletic fallacy
• “Animal within”- Hyde desperate to come out. Jekyll is desperate for Hyde to come out
• “licking the chops of memory”- animalistic language and metaphor. Hyde is an animal. Meat could represent desires.
• “memories”- trampling girl, murder of sir Dan is Carew. He felt free in these moments and is despite to feel the same way
again
• “little drowsed”- religion is being pushed out of the way
• show spore of Hyde and weakness of Jekyll
• Shows duality and desires
• part of human nature, battle of good vs evil.
6) “If i am the chief of sinners, then i am the chief of sufferers also”
• gothic genre
• Shows that you shouldn’t mess with god or try play god
• and because he does, he suffers immensely
• He committed sins but he also suffered the consequences
7) “with an ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim under foot and hailing down a storm of blows, under which the bones ere
audibly shattered”
• “ape-like fury”- theory of evolution and fear of devolution
• “Bones are shattered”-
